Obviously I don’t claim to speak for everyone else when I say it only seems that way to him. I’m being tongue in cheek. But I do think it’s the wrong instinct and the fact that some people agree isn’t reason to give into it.

> the termination letter was addressed broadly to “adafruit leadership,” not to any specific operational contact. that alone tells you this was not a routine business dispute That really doesn’t tell me anything. I would like to humbly

Ah, that is pretty illuminating. Insert “adafruit employee / husband of CEO overreacts to internet squabbles and gets a little shrieky because he’s sleep deprived” in there somewhere. This reminds me of the olden days of small messag

Don’t worry. Self-awareness is not required. ;)

As an uninformed observer, here is a possible sequence of events that sounds somewhat plausible based on what we know so far: * sparkfun employee engages in some shitty behavior (maybe harassment, maybe photoshops) toward adafruit CEO

Sir, this is HN. Being an unfun nerd is practically a prerequisite.

Sorry, as other commenter points out, the editing is only “bad” in a specific context. It’s brilliant for purposes of comedy and mockery. It’s definitely not good for purposes of understanding what Adams really thought. Edit: and for what

This video is so badly edited that it’s really difficult to figure out what he’s actually saying. It’s obviously cut to portray some kind of regret, but for example what does “he left me on the table” even mean? Who? How?

I think maybe you’re reading too much into it. I’ll happily acknowledge that I’ve fallen off my own cliffs of insanity at times. It’s hyperbole, not an attack.

I’d be interested in seeing this. Not to doubt you, but I suspect a more accurate characterization is not “my life was ruined by my support for Trump” but rather “look what being right about everything gets you in a world of trump haters.”

Not having a dog in this fight, what it really looks like to me is the “haters” started as people who respectfully acknowledged his greatness while also recognizing that there were aspects of him they didn’t like. The real hatred came out

My Instagram username is <firstinitial><lastname> and I get password reset offers (they say “looks like you’re having trouble logging into Instagram” or something similar) about once a week.

> Better: send the compressed body as-is Having you server blindly proxy responses from a “poison” server sounds like a good way to sign yourself up for hosting some exciting content that someone else doesn’t want to host themselves.

If I were a merchant and I was bothered by this, I’d start figuring out how to exploit it. Ask your developers to code in the ability to detect the AI buyer (email address is a dead giveaway for now) and give them higher prices. Oh, you h

You guys are doing a lot of hand-wringing over what was likely just tongue-in-cheek trolling among people who considered each other friends. I could easily see creating a thinly veiled persona to do some annoyance of a close friend and call

If you actually have $110000 in freely available disposable cash and you’re worrying about whether you have the ability to spend it all on a credit card versus arranging a funds transfer or a check, I question your decision-making process.

My advice is to ask yourself how important your credit limit is, and ask yourself why. And challenge the notion that a better credit score has any positive impact on your life. You have a whole chain of “truths” you take for granted: high

I have never had a credit limit higher than 1800. I’ve managed to get lots of mortgages at rates that are just fine. Stop believing you’re a slave to your credit score.

by hamburglar 9mo ago
Oh I do hate the game. I refuse to worry about credit scores and I haven’t checked mine in over 20 years. I’ve got a ridiculously low credit limit and that suits me just fine. Live like you don’t need credit.

by hamburglar 9mo ago
Why would you want such a high credit limit? Are you dying to spend money you don’t have?

Also, seemingly without exception, the dongle itself is fragile and ends up causing constant crackling after a while.

Definitely needs a landing page with samples because I can’t figure out what this is and I’m on a phone and really the only information I’m presented with is that it kinda doesn’t work on a phone.

It might be a neat experiment to use ai to produce canonicalized paraphrasings of HN arguments so they could be compared directly and compress well.

I preordered a lightning. When they finally released it, it could not be obtained for less than $85k, and many were marked up or added-on for upwards of $100k. Ford having set my expectations at a $40k starting price, I canceled my order.

I paid $24k for my maverick. There were tons of dealers who had marked it up to the low 30’s and told me I’d never get one for MSRP. I said, “I guess I’ll wait.” I had to wait a whole 2 weeks.
